Joining the Educational Development Group (EDG) was a transformative opportunity and by far one of the best decisions I made upon immigrating to the United States.

When I joined the EDG in September 2009, I had barely 2 months in the US and I knew nothing about this country. EDG has helped me through a tough period of cultural assimilation and guided me every step of the way forward.

Being at EDG was personally, educationally, and professionally rewarding. Now that I am a UMass graduate, I am forever grateful to EDG because I wouldn’t be there without the staff of EDG that believed in me and pushed me to pursue college. EDG has been a blessing to me and I hope it continues to help many more in navigating what can be a tough cultural shock when they first arrive in the U.S.
